Apr 4, 2014 at 17:18 comment added Geoff Robinson Yes, that is the relevant result (or its dual). The reduced lattice has the same head as the PIMdoes, and that head is simple. A module with simple head must be indecomposable. The way to dualise it is to take the lattice affording the irreducible character as a pure submodule of the "lift" of the PIM. Then its reduction has the same socle as the PIM, which is simple.
Apr 4, 2014 at 17:04 comment added daveh I've just looked at the Thompson paper and I don't see that result. The only general result is Theorem 1, and that seems to show that we choose any subcharacter of a PIM and find a lattice so it appears at the top when we reduce, but nothing about Brauer characters.
